Brandheart Overcoming procrastination

Overcoming procrastination

There are many misconceptions about the causes of procrastination, including the belief that people who procrastinate are slacking off.  In fact, there are many nuanced reasons why people procrastinate.  For example, many of our clients reported that during the early stages of the lockdowns of 2020-21 they found procrastination creeping in. It seems to us that…

Brandheart Leading With Love

Leading with love

In 2019 Helena Clayton of the Roffey Park Institute published her research into the importance of love in leadership. After interviewing more than 75 directors, CEOs and senior managers across a range of industries she found that ‘love’, although as a word and concept is awkward for many to discuss, is essential to effective leadership…

What our clients say

“Claire ran a fantastic leadership development programme for the Ministry’s leadership team – from Chief Executive to team leader. The feedback was exceptional, with many commenting that it was the best leadership learning experience of their careers. Claire’s deep experience and ability to communicate complex concepts simply and directly made the sessions highly engaging and enjoyable. In a fast paced, changing environment Claire was able to flex and move with our people to deliver strong learning outcomes and timely and effective development. I highly recommend Claire and Brandheart.”

Robyn Smith, Deputy Chief Executive, Corporate Services Ministry of Transport
“Feel the fear and do it anyway! Meet a great bunch of fellow journeymen and women into the great abyss we call life, fantastic! If you take one course in the next 12 months take this one, it can change your life. Thanks so much Claire for your time, your wisdom and the aroha you bring to what you do, truly inspirational.  Mauri ora ki a korua ko to hoa rangatira”.

Participant, Ministry of Education
“Brandheart has been doing an absolutely wonderful job delivering workshops for staff and people leaders across Auckland Council. There has been an enormous demand for the workshops because of their popularity and effectiveness. Brandheart’s facilitators do an amazing job and have a strong reputation at Council as a being very competent and transformational in their approach. We receive feedback from employees and managers about how people are handling workplace change, pressure and relationships more constructively as a result of the workshop, especially reframing their thinking to handle challenging situations better. These workshops have been a real success for us”.

Senior Learning and Development Advisor, Auckland Council
“Brandheart has excelled in their work with us. Our teams are motivated, people are communicating, ideas are flowing, issues are being resolved between staff without manager/HR intervention, and our staff better understand our goals and vision and their part in helping us achieve them”.

Manager, Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production House, Wellington
“My team members have found the Brandheart workshops a beneficial experience – the difference is noticeable with team dynamics. The understanding of one another’s working and communicating style is so readily accepted now. I am no longer the mediator because they have the knowledge of the behaviours and the skills to diffuse situations themselves. I believe all staff have the opportunity to benefit enormously from completing these workshops”.

Team Leader, Immigration NZ
“I have just received this year’s engagement results and the team has had the biggest positive movement of any business unit in LINZ. On sharing this news with the team their feedback to me was the impact that Brandheart’s workshop had on them individually and also on us as a team, and I agree with their thoughts 100%. We have continued to develop over the past six months, and are in a good space now I believe to achieve some excellent results next year”.

Manager, Land Information NZ
“Brandheart’s workshops have had a huge positive impact on both my team and myself. We are using the language and concepts from the workshops every day in our conversations, especially when we are faced with a challenging situation. We ask each other what choices can we make here to get the best outcome, remind each other to take a break and go for a walk, remind each other to take personal responsibility to influence rather than moan about things or at least find a way to live with a situation positively. I have also been able to use the preparation and process for addressing concerns constructively from the workshop which has made those conversations so much more effective”.

Manager, Auckland Council
“Participants consistently provide positive feedback about Brandheart’s workshops – more importantly – so do their managers. This feedback is more than just about how they enjoyed the workshop and facilitators, it’s also about how they are using what they’ve learned”.

Manager, Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment
“Brandheart’s facilitator exuded a calm confidence that I believe influenced the whole room and enabled a sincere and reflective environment, crucial for real learning to take place. The tension was skilfully balanced between enabling all to have their say, and directing the workshop to keep on track. I personally felt a sense of timelessness where there seemed to be plenty of time to carry out the workshop sessions, but without the usual rush, and running late typical of most workshops I have attended. Our facilitator was able to work the group in a flexible and dynamic way to ensure an optimal outcome in the time available. I highly recommend the facilitators from Brandheart”.

Director, Quinovic NZ
“Months later staff are still talking about their learning and using the language and techniques Brandheart’s facilitator gave them to strengthen their resilience and to build effective relationships with colleagues and customers. We wanted to build a collaborative, positive and proactive culture amongst staff, and to have staff with the confidence and skills to deliver excellent service to our customers and to positively manage relationships with each other. In addition to this we wanted our staff to build their resilience to some of the changes and challenges that they face at work. Claire delivered on everything we wanted. Claire distils complex ideas into simple practical methods staff can use to grow both personally and as high performing teams”.

Manager, Hutt City Council
“The course has been instrumental in giving me back ‘me’.  I resonated with everything you said on the course and loved the way you provided us with so many ways of applying what we learnt – I was able to take on board the learning and then apply it in my own life. My confidence has grown as a result. I have found a real interest in the psychology of  leadership and I have stepped out of my comfort zone and begun actively applying for leadership jobs. I feel clear headed and sure of myself for the first time in a long while!  So thank you for putting such an amazing course together, and presenting it so beautifully. You made us all feel valued and heard and that was so appreciated”.
